{"product_id":"green-favia","title":"Green Favia","description":"\u003cp\u003eFavia have been a long-standing fixture in the reef aquarium hobby, and for good reason. As a large polyp stony (LPS) coral, they offer a classic brain coral appearance with hardy growth, making them an accessible choice for many reef keepers. This particular piece displays the rich green colouration that makes these corals such a popular addition to home aquariums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe colony grows in a massive or encrusting form, with raised, fleshy corallites that are distinct and circular. During the day, the polyps remain puffy and textured, showing off their solid green colour. Like many related corals, Favia is active after the lights go out, extending surprisingly long sweeper tentacles from its perimeter to explore its surroundings and catch food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor best results, place your Green Favia in the lower to middle sections of the aquarium where it will receive low to moderate light, in the 75-150 PAR range. It prefers gentle, indirect water flow that is just strong enough to keep the surface clear of detritus. This coral is an aggressive neighbor and will use its sweeper tentacles to sting anything within reach, so be sure to provide at least 10 cm of space between it and other corals. Favia benefits from occasional target feeding with small meaty foods like mysis shrimp. Stable water parameters are key, with calcium at 420-440 ppm, alkalinity at 8-9 dKH, and magnesium around 1300-1400 ppm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver time, a Favia will encrust over the rockwork it is placed on, creating a living topography that adds texture and interest to the reef. Its steady growth habit and straightforward care requirements make it a rewarding project coral for both new and experienced hobbyists looking to add a hardy LPS to their system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a WYSIWYG item, so you'll receive the exact specimen pictured.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eastern Marine Aquariums","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42285669711927,"sku":"EMA-LPS-20260626-91L9","price":65.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1849\/1739\/files\/ec3efa6f-2a32-47c8-99ff-e401d8dfa6c2-_MG_4272.png?v=1782500063","url":"https:\/\/easternmarineaquariums.co.nz\/products\/green-favia","provider":"EasternMarine Aquariums","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
